No More Gnomes: An Interview with Author and Illustrator Beth Mills In Beth Mills’ hilarious new picture book, No More Gnomes, Herbert’s legendary manners are pushed to the brink when Ms. Goat (yes, a goat) starts filling the yard—and Herbert’s life—with an ever-growing army of rude, gnome-sized nightmares. It's a story of politeness under pressure, lawn ornament invasion, and one boy’s noble quest to say no nicely. Today author-illustrator Beth Mills joins us to talk about the inspiration behind the book, how she named the garden gnomes, and what illustrations she loves the most. https://lernerbooks.blog/2025/09/no-more-gnomes-an-interview-with-author-and-illustrator-beth-mills.html?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
